The judge set no bond for Sanchez and Cunningham and set a $1 million bond for Heath.

According to the criminal complaint, the suspects demanded $20,000 in ransom as the victim was held at gunpoint in a northeast Houston home. Initially, they told Valladares his brother owed them $8,000.

Furthermore, investigators alleged the suspects threatened Valladares' other family members, who they could easily name because the victim is related to Cunningham by marriage.

Cunningham reportedly told investigators he also had a girlfriend, who was identified as Heath, and that the victim was being held at her house in northeast Houston.
